A pre-application checklist for Faribault

Before you hand your details to a lender in Faribault, where the population is near 24,642:

1. Order your free credit reports and dispute anything inaccurate — it is the cheapest way to move the rate you are offered.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Minnesota regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
6. Check that the monthly payment fits your budget next to your existing obligations.
